I'm not sure what you're referring to though. Can you paste a link or screenshot here for us to look at? Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..." Dwarves: "Pretty rings..." Men: "Pretty rings..." Sauron: "Mine's better."

Roads go ever ever on Under cloud and under star Yet feet that wandering have gone Turn at last to home afar. Eyes that fire and sword have seen And horror in the halls of stone Look at last on meadows green And trees and hills they long have known.

And I don't feel like visiting it because it's close enough to smell like bad phish.

theonering.com is a completely different site. If you want to view their forums you need to register with them. I hate to say it, though, but that looks to be a dying community. "I may be on the side of the angels, but do not think for one second that I am one of them." - Sherlock

Ah, the days when that was a fierce rivalry. ****************************************** I met a Balrog on the stair He had some wings that weren't there. They weren't there again today. I wish he would just fly away.

Used to they were very careful to screen out any people from TORn because, well, they liked to talk about TORn. It was kind of high-schoolish. ****************************************** I met a Balrog on the stair He had some wings that weren't there. They weren't there again today.

The TOR.com homepage hasn't had a new post since December 2013. The forums seem to be the only thing keeping the site alive. I guess that news of the Amazon series came too little too late. I don't even see a topic about it. "I may be on the side of the angels, but do not think for one second that I am one of them." - Sherlock

The TOR.com forums have allowed me to register; now I am awaiting confirmation that my account has been activated. "I may be on the side of the angels, but do not think for one second that I am one of them." - Sherlock

of the repercussions that occurred on TORN when the members of both sites decided to stir the pot. I'm sure you aren't going there to cause trouble Otaku, but keep in mind that if there are any long-term board members still active on TORC that you'll be entering an area that could be more sensitive than you'd expect. Please be cautious. Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..." Dwarves: "Pretty rings..." Men: "Pretty rings..." Sauron: "Mine's better."

I couldn't help noticing that the homepage there hasn't been active for years, and the forums do not have any discussions of such current topics as the upcoming Amazon series or Cubicle 7's Middle-earth role-playing games. It's just a shame to see the TOR.com site reduced to such a state. Still, based on reports such as your own, my registration might not even get confirmed.

This would have been starting circa 2005-2006, after any controversy had died down, as far as I could tell. Among other things, they were at one point attempting to do an annotation of LOTR that I found quite interesting. There are four lights.

Remember TheLidlessEye? I still include his hilarious Middle-earth Weather Reports in several of the March TIME posts.

He contacted me in 2004 to tell me that one of the TORc members posted our RotK Geeky Observation List as their own on TORc . Lidless confronted the poster AND Hengist stepped in with so much respect and grace. Scrolling through the posts... I'm still moved by how TORc and TORn came together :)
